Jun 26 The 10 Highest Paid NFL Players

As a kid I always dreamed of playing in the NFL. I wanted to play under the lights, be famous and of course make the big bucks. I had the Brett Favre, Dan Marino and Payton Manning jerseys. I dressed up as them for Halloween. It was the whole 9 yards.

Even though my favorite players all seemed to be QB's, I grew up playing receiver and DB. Little did I know that if I actually were to fulfill my dream to become an NFL player, I was playing the wrong position in school - but dressing up as the right one on Halloween night.

After extensive research on NFL salaries i've come to one conclusion: if you want to make the big bucks, you should probably play quarterback. 8 of the top 10 slots for the highest paid NFL players were taken by QB's, therefore arguably making them the most important players out of the 22 positions on the field.

If there's one thing i've learned about sports it's that the numbers don't lie. These numbers don't lie, they get paid.
